I just wanted to seize this opportunity to refresh the
information about the scanning service the library offers to
academic staff. In order to ensure compliance with copyright law
and achieve consistency in scanning, SOAS Library has been
scanning course material on behalf of academics for posting on to
BLE. We have started work on material for this academic year
(2017/2018) and I urge you to submit your lists via the
prescribed form and designated email only (find link
below) immediately so we can start working through
them.
We operate a strict "first come; first served" policy and cannot
guarantee that materials will be ready on demand. No requests submitted via personal,
other emails or format will be processed and this will delay the
processing of your work.
In some cases, the materials requested are either on loan to
other users and need to be recalled or are simply not held by the
library which may require some liaison and collaboration between
academics and subject librarians; hence the need to submit your
lists on time. Please liaise with your academic staff promptly
and as much as possible coordinate the submission of requests
centrally. We are also happy to receive individual submissions
from lecturers provided they use the designated email address and
requisition form. Could you kindly share this information
with your academic staff and others who should be aware.
Please note that the library is not responsible for making
decisions or offering advice on technical or legal issues around
copyright and compliance; such queries must be referred to
the Information
Compliance team via their email dataprotection@soas.ac.uk. Please
do not take offence if such queries are neither acknowledged nor
responded to.
The link below will take you to the information and FAQ page
where you can also download the requisition form.
